Hi folks.
I've flashed liquid smooth 2.3 (jelly bean 4.2.2) by safestrap 3.1 on slot 3, just like recommended by its developers (at least is what I've read on some tutorials).
I'm enjoying this rom very much, but I've experienced some issues, like:
1) File explorers incompatibility. When I open a file explorer (tried some), it just close automatically at the moment I try to open internal sdcard.
2) Some random reboots (just a few. commonly after trying installing some app by play store - couldn't see a pattern - or trying to use a file explorer).
3) Battery seems to be drained faster. On stock rom the battery used to last about 3-4 days. I'm not a heavy user and I turn off the phone by night near to 11/12pm, turning it on again by 6/7 am. Now the battery lasts 2 days, at most, using the same way.
It has 4 months of use, never dropped or something harmful. I'd like to keep this rom, even in the case these issues are not solved.
Any clue?
Thanks!

Not sure about the Force closures....
But one thing is for sure when it comes to custom ROMS
you need to atleast have the rom for 1 week before you really judge the Battery life...
By 1 week i meant about 5-7 charge n discharge cycles...
The ROM will be Sucking the battery for in initial days after which it will stablise! hope this helps!
(i have flashed many rom n have seen this trend)
Thanks, buddy.
Actually I've flashed it a few days ago and did just two cycles of full discharge/charge. I'll wait for another three or four cycles to see what happen.
Other doubt, I've noted the wifi's signal is weaker. Where I used to see two or three bars, now I'm getting just one or two. Do you know what it can be?

I'm using it with the boot menu, and I have a problem with the wifi does not detect the 5Ghz band.
Hi Max.
I didn't even know our xt910 can capture 5 GHz signal.
I've noted the strenght of the signal dropped down, but I've been using it just at 2.4 GHz.
The battery began to show some improvement. I'm using it for 3 days and 6 hours and still have 14%. (Couldn't send a screenshot)
In short, this is my definitive rom. I'll get use with this weaker signal.
I got a router wifi at work right beside me, and at home the distance is not that long, at most about 12 meters straight ahead, with two walls in between.
I'll live...

Well, now I'm testing Liquid Smooth 2.3 + JBX Kernel 0.4.6 OCE (OverClocking Edition).
So far, it's stable and raised up AnTuTu 3 to 8986 points at 1350 MHz.
I've tested JBX Kernel 0.4.5 BSE (Battery Saving Edition) for only two days. Despite was not time enough to test its main characteristic (battery saving), I can say that had run stable, marked 7479 point on AnTuTu 3 with the clock at 1000 MHz.
Let's see if this kernel actually is stable. I've flashed 0.4.6 OCE just about 4 hours until now...
Max, I finally saw where we set wifi to operate with 5 GHz. I was pleased to know about this possibility. I'm going to try it and let you know about.

Hi, does anyone have a problem using Llama to turn wifi off? Llama crashes every time it tries.
Thanks.
EDIT: I just deleted the slot, recreated and reflashed. It looks like it's working fine now.
News from other rom (avatar)
Hi guys!
Well, I've tested Liquid Smooth 2.8 and liked it. Basically it seemed to be a bit more stable than the last I've used (version 2.3). Battery life is about to 2-3 days, depends basically on 3g (the Aquiles' heels of all batteries). Some few loss of wifi and needed to reboot. Wifi calibration won't help when this issue happens. I liked LS and the only issue that bothered me a little was the fact the wifi's signal was a bit weaker. Just it.
I've tested CyanogenMod 10.1 and basically almost the same: wifi's signal weaker, but in this case I haven't got wifi loss of signal. Liquid Smooth uses a little bit less memory than CyanogenMod, about 50-80 MB in general. Battery life is quite as good as LS. I've got until 4 days of battery life with CyanogenMod 10.1, but with less usage. Detail: wifi is always on (both cases).
Now I'm testing Avatar, based on 3.0 arion (CyanogenMod), about 2 weeks. This rom doesn't loss wifi's signal, but I need to calibrate it every boot. Just it.
I've noted that wifi's signal is as good as stock rom, better than LS and pure Cyanogen. For the first time I've got 5(!) days and 9 hours of battery life. I was amazed about that.
In this 5 days:
- wifi always on
- e-mail checking (everyday)
- music playing about some hours in 2 days (weekend)
- some internet surfing (everyday)
- about 2 hours of 3g (weekend)
- some photos (3 days I guess, don't remember exactly)
- some google play updates on wifi
- whatsapp e gmail always on
- some skype conversation (just chat)
What taked my attention the most was the fact I've used in other roms JBX kernel in underclock mode (100 mhz - 1200 mhz) and now it's stock tuned (300 mhz - 1200 mhz) (the kernel thas was shipped with avatar rom).
I've used and I'm using (in all roms) the app PimpMyRom beta. Did all the tweaks. I've used in all roms.
Avatar Antutu 3.3.2
Forgot to mention.
Antutu 3.3.2: 8510 (stock 1200 mhz, HotPlug, Noop)
The best score until then was 8929 with overclock (1350 mhz) on jbx kernel (don't remember exactly the version) with Liquid Smooth 2.8.
I'm enjoying this rom until now. No lag at all, always at least 300 mb of free ram, better battery life and good wifi signal strength.
Just now I could send the screenshot.

Something weird happened yesterday.
I use to listen to some music when I go home after job, but last evening the music player just refused to work saying that it couldn't read the mp3s.
Well, I went to open the music folder in the sdcard when I was surprised by the non existence of an sdcard.
I rebooted, cleared the caches by safestrap and then... it booted on stock....
Rebooted again, opened safestrap and was caught by a suprisingly loss of the slot1. It was not there anymore. Booted in stock again and it showed up the sdcard and the internal memory empty.
Any clue?
Now I'm trying cm10.2 again. WiFi is working, but just after a calibration. Until now it seems everything is working: WiFi, camera, 3g, apps in general, GPS, sensors, etc. Just didn't test HDMI, but I've never used it, neither at stock ROM, so it doesn't bother me.

Whoa, you really made me wanna try Avatar ROM hehe...
But no clue about your ROM slot disappearing issue, never heard of it... is your SD card working right now?
I was trying CM10.2 aswell, and it worked really great, but right now I am back on latest AOKP nightly, i have never seen any other ROM works so smooth and fast... + I love their features Only problem is that you have to manually fix GPS, but thats job for 2 minutes.
Hi tsunamik
Yes, sd card is working fine, but guess what? I'm back on stock rom...
Do you know if it's possible to flash custom roms on stock slot?
It seems the slots are made on user partition, not on rom partition. That's why I'm wondering about that.

I'm running Cognition as of yesterday. For a few days before that I was running a stock + root ROM.
I must say, my battery lasts sooooooo much longer since installing Cognition compared to Stock. I just now hit 90% and it's been off the charger (getting regular use: some idle, some web browsing, some pp installs) for about 6 hours now.
I love it.

I'm on Cognition and haven't tried others, yet. It works and as ROMs have appeared, I've pulled what I wanted from them. I get great battery life (3 hours of display time, but lately it's been increasing - yesterday I got 4 and today I'm on pace for over 5 hours of display ). I'm really interested in CM7. I hadn't tried it yet because I'm not convinced that it's bug free (which is important for me). What did you think of it?
I'm getting such poor battery life still, even after rooting and removing data hogs (AP Mobile, etc.), running BBS and CPUSpy to monitor, and turning off unnecessary sync. I'm thinking about moving to Cognition, but I kinda like Touchwiz's interface and the safety of running stock.

I liked CM7. I probably didn't give it enough time to make an accurate assessment of it as I liked the idea of trying UnNamed simply because I like the stock build as it is... minus the garbage bloatware and wanted the extended power menu. I'd highly recommend giving CM7 a shot though. I simply get each rom running and then do a full nandroid backup in case I want to go back in the future - barring any major improvements of course in which case I'll start out fresh.

I have to say that I was never much of a believer in Juice Defender but between running that program and doing a battery calibration with the app, BatteryCalibration, my battery life has increased quite a bit. I've still got Gmail auto syncing but I have turned off 'Back up my data' in Privacy and keep GPS off until I need it. Everything else is running as is. Oh and no Facebook or Words with Friends. I login to Facebook via Dolphin HD when I have to check it on the go.
Running UnNamed 1.0.3 and really like it. Clean, snappy and excellent battery life (yes, better than stock rom).

Ive been on cog beta 4 for a while and it is perfect. Picked up DD exp kernal a few days ago and its still perfect. Perfect combo i guess. Battery life is amazing. After 15 hour days i am always getting 4 hours of screen on time along with playing music thoughout the day and few calls and messages data and sync always on.
I have yet to have any problems and gonna make this my offical "go back to, stable rom" when others start to drive me nuts. I would like to just stay on this rom and call it good cause its perfect but that never happens.

Wow.... That sounds impressive. I may need to give that rom a whir then.
So i have a verizon fascinate and am currently running cm7. (first tried the stable release but niw a nightly). Im eeally liking cm, but since i got it my battery life is garbage. Basically the drain seems to come from either the android os sercice or cell standby. Whenever i leave my phone inactive for a while, when i wake it up the battery has dropped a lot and tge phone is very warm. I have been modding this phone for a while, but im no android programmer. Purely based on the forum searchi. G ive done on the issue, it seemsblike cm7 has an issue with my modem or radio.
Extra info: my 3g/2g signals seem fine (always 0% time without signal). Wifi connectivity seems fine. Im also running glitch's kernal altho the problem has persisted with and without it (i did do a kernel cleaning first). I used the "go from anything to jb vanilla" guide cuz i was having issues switching to mtd at first (sry dont have a link rite now but it was on xda) . I get occassional force closes, but not really a problem. When i did a titanium back up, the very first time i flashed cm7 i Did restore system settings, but i did not do that every time since then. Ive done a fresh flash of the stable mod around 3 times trying different stuff, but this one is niggtly as i said, and each has had this issue.
If looked around a lot, and wgile this seems common, no one has posted a consistent solution or explanation to the problem, so thats what im looking for.

I have had the standby battery drain on every CM7 version and Kernel tried so far including 7.1 stable,7.0 nightlies,JT's Vanilla,and PoolParty. It's even worse if I shut phone down and don't plug in. It will drop 50 to 75% overnight with phone not on?
Has done it with undervolting,overclocking,and voltage control not even installed. This is first time I have seen others having similiar issues.
I think this is a known issue for all MTD roms on the fascinate, if I'm not mistaken.

I lose only 5% to 10% overnight on CM7 never really notice how much on MIUI cause I never ran it long enough. I guess every phone would behave differently for MTD's or maybe you have an app or mulitple ones that refreshes frequently(Fancy Widget comes to mind).
Well that really sucks, because i do enjoy cm7. But this also means if i go back to a touchwiz configuration like stock dl09 i shouldnt have these issues right?
But before that, has anyone who had these issues tried anything (ie kernels or maybe standby mode power conservation setting, etc... ) that have at least noticeably improved your battery life? Right now mines pretty unbearable (im talking 8hrs while on but totally inactive), but if i can get it up a little i might b able to manage.

I am also experiencing poor battery life. I just flashed 7.1.0 yesterday and absolutely love it. Was using com rom for a few months, but a friend said to try out cwm 7. I used to get about 6 - 8 hours of Pandora while at work and today I only got about 4 before my phone shut off. I'm going to try completely killing battery and charge with phone off tonight an see if it's any better tomorrow.
Any other suggestions? I'm not a noob when it comes to custom roms and flashing (I used to flash the **** out of my G1) but there may have been something I over looked when switching to cwm7. I wiped everything a few times before flashing including battery stats and dalvic.
My battery life is actually really good. Running latest nighty, undervolted -75 across the board,stock kernel, and no overclocking.
Just can't figure why I lose 50-75% of battery overnight when phone is shut down and not charging?
I have the same issue with CM7.1, turning phone of at 80% battery at night to find it at 25% at morning
Is there knows solution?

I,average about two to three BSODs every other day. When they occur they seem to cluster, so I get a few, stops happening, and everything runs smooth for the next few days. Other than that, this rom has been smooth as silk and stable as can be.

Taking the plunge with the sgt7 cm10 2012-10-08 ROM
I just finished installing the 2012-10-08 ROM, and wanted to report my experience so far.
My Nook Tablet was already rooted and running CM7. I have been waiting to make the move to JB once the stability of the various ROMs seemed to be improving, and the recent work seemed promising. Thus, I decided to dive on in.
Here are the steps I took:
1. Downloaded 08/10 ROM, JB gApps, and CWM as referenced in the OP. Moved them over to my SD card.
2. From Rom Manager on the NT, I booted into recovery and flashed the new CWM. Rebooted the tablet.
3. Booted back into recovery again, did a factory reset (format data/ and cache/), then formatted Dalvik cache as well.
4. Flashed the 08/10 ROM.
5. Flashed JB gapps.
6. Rebooted the tablet.
After a short while, the OS booted up. I connected to my local WiFi, and then I configured the tablet with my Google account info, installed necessary apps, etc.
Everything seemed to work very well until the screen automatically turned off after the tablet stood idle for a while. Pressing the N button or power button did not turn the screen back on. I assume that this is the dreaded "Sleep of Death" (SOD) I have heard so much about.
I held down the power button for 10 seconds or so, released it, then held the power button down until the tablet rebooted. I thought that maybe turning WiFi off before it slept might help, so I experimented a bit, and it did seem to work.
I'm home now, and the battery life of the ROM seems very nice so far. I am playing around again with WiFi left on before it sleeps, to see if I can reproduce the same problem, but so far it is waking back up and working just fine.
All in all, it is a very impressive ROM, and I am glad (so far) that I decided to take the plunge!
Bug with 4/10 version
hi,
i also want to report few bugs with version 4/10: before i went to bed, and charged my NT 16G. from the screen, it confirmed that the charging started. but next morning when i checked again, the battery is still at the same level.
this means that it doesnt really charge, even it said the charging was under-way.
i can confirm that the charge cable was properly connected to my NT, so this is a software bug i think.
Besides, it seems i have the SOD problems sometimes. i tried to reboot, but the power button didnt seem to work. finally, i removed the microSD card, and it seemed to help to reboot my NT. another problem???
thanks.
I think I have to revise my endorsement. The 4/10 rom without enhancements is a buttery smooth, very reliable, daily driver. BSODs are rare, wifi dropping rarely happens. The enhancement pack and the 8/10 rom do fix the wifi dropping and imprive battery performance. Unfortunately they also seem to break a fairn number of apps, including com2us, scrabble, and words with friends I also experienced video freezing. on youtube and netflix. Also memory use seemed higher and I had to frequently (4 or 5 x per day) run fix.permissions to prevent force.closings.on apps . That ended up being a deal breaker, I ended up reverting back to the 4/10, the enhancements ended up causing more headaches then they fixed.
Still, the 4/10 is easily the most stable, functional rom currently running on the tablet. Huge thanks to everyone.who worked on this.
Just a quick update on the 2012-10-08 ROM. Last night, I picked up my NT after having it sit for a couple hours, and pressed the "N" button to wake it back up. The screen turned on, and I briefly saw a notification message scroll up top that said something along the lines of, "SD card unexpectedly removed", and then the tablet rebooted.
I saw that someone else had a similar issue on the DEV thread, and just wanted to confirm that I, too, seem to be having the same problem.

I've found that manually disabling Wifi before sleeping prevents the sdcard issue. The I have no idea why they seem related but it works here on 04/10 that way.

Thanks for the confirmation of my suspicion. It seeps that disabling WiFi before sleeping also prevents the SOD issues, so I will just try to remember to do that when I use it.
Hey Folks,
Is there a Download for AOKPCB Rom? Because the link in the thread is down :/
Or is there another good and stable ICS Rom with low Battery consumption and cool design ?
I haven't seen that port in a while, so I'm guessing it's been discontinued. I personally believe CM10 is more stable than CM9/leaked ICS. Try EPinters CM10 in the development section. Aside from lack of HWA, everything works.
I have seen the PCB keyboard around, maybe there is also the theme available. Couldn't hurt to try as CM10 is themeable.

I'm running epinters CM10 at the moment but I have bad battery conditions with it.
I get about 7 hours of heavy use with constant screen on. That includes playing music in car, streaming Pandora, lots of WiFi browsing, youtube, gtalk, texting and few calls. I have mine set to 2G only to get better battery as don't call much. Sync is set to standard values. Normal use gives me about 14-15 hours.
There was a version of CM10 with HWA that had terrible battery life. Also, I'm not too sure, but I believe there was a version of EPinter that gave me bad battery life (5 hours or so). Think three earlier ones were better, but I'm on 11-17 and it fairs okay.
If battery life is of concern, I'd stick with GB (MROM is great, can get 18 hours with normal use). I know it's hard to go back once you've experienced ICS/JB but at least you'll have a working fingerprint scanner. =P
Edit: Forgot to mention, I have a lot of the 'useless' apps disabled. I also use LBE v4 to prevent a lot of apps from auto-starting. I'm not sure if it helps, but the placebo effect does. Seems to boot faster, save memory and battery. (less background processes to manage, I guess)
Edit 2: Here's a link to the PCB theme, haven't tired it personally as I prefer system theme.

Epinter's CM10 is great! You also might want to try Th3Bill's AOKP.

Yea JB is really nice. I think I will flash back to epinters now and try some of your tips Thanks
Edit: stock kernel with fix http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42236453
A1 kernel also has fix! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30222169

I have had a problem with battery life due to l2_hsic wakelock for a long time. The wakelock has been present on both stock ICS and CM 10 with my P7500. Have searched for a solution for weeks and finally realized that the problem it is modem related. Flashed a modem from before ICS, and the wakelock is now gone. What a relief to get my honeycomb battery life back! I am now running CM10 and A1 kernel V1.8.4.
The modem I flashed was XXKK2.

Re: L2_HSIC wakelock solution
Are you able to make full voice calls with the device after flashing this modem? How good is the reception for mobile data, stable or flunctuating? I am CM10 4.1.2.
Thanks.

I am also on CM10 4.1.2. Unfortunately, I have not tried using voice calls so I do not know. I am satisfied with mobile data reception, but have not made a thorough comparison.
Well, that was disappointing...
I have the exact same issue with battery life, which on GB used to last almost 2 weeks (when the tab was not used much), and after upgrading to stock ICS 4.0.4 it now can't even hold for 2 days! CPU runs @ 200MHz ~85% of the time the screen is off and there are obviously plenty of l2_hsic wakelocks.
As suggested I replaced modem XXLQ8 with XXKK2, wiped cache and dalvik, but there is absolutely no difference in the battery life or CPU states.
I am truly devastated..
I can't imagine going back to stock GB, so is the only solution left for me now is to try an unstable nightly build of CM 10.1?

Have you tried in combination with A1 kernel? Changing the modem made all the difference for me. An I am at CM 10 with A1 kernel.

Did not do anything better for me, flashed a new modem.... No change.
Hi!
I found the reason of the high number of L2_HSIC wakelocks in my environment.
I have a Canon multifunction scanner/printer, connected via WiFi to my home PC.
It turns out that when you install the "Canon IJ Network Scan Utilities", there's a process called CNMNSUT.EXE that wakes up every second and broadcasts a BJNP packet to the whole local network. These packets are precisely the reason why I used to get so many network-related wakelocks (yes, I also had WLAN_RX_WAKEs).
Now... this process is responsible for the communication between the scanner and the Canon driver running on the PC: more specifically, it's the process that allows you to scan a document entirely from the scanner's panel, without having to do anything on the computer.
So, here's what I did to work around the problem, while still preserving the ability to scan via the panel:
I configured a fixed IP address for the multifunction printer/scanner on my router;
I restricted the communication to and from CNMNSUT.EXE only from/to the printer/scanner's IP address, using a custom rule in my firewall.
In this way, all the broadcast BJNP packets sent by CNMNSUT.EXE are blocked by the firewall, except the ones directed to the printer, and my phone doesn't receive those packets anymore.
I hope this helps at least some of you...

Hi,
Is the wakelock gone for you still? I've noticed it comes back sometimes. Can you please share a screenshots of the battery life and such?
Are you still using A1 kernel and this ROM 10.1 CM
or which ROM are you using?
Has any one tried 10.1v ROM?

Yes, unfortunately the wakelock comes back from time to time, with a few days in between. My dirty fix has been to use the app Reboot Scheduler to reboot my tab every night. A reboot "fixes" the wakelock. This has reduced the probability that my tab is awake for any length of time and the total battery time is close to battery time without wakelock.
